The Israeli Technology

Israel counts its human capital as its most important resource. This would include scientists, engineers and programmers who migrated in the 1990s from the former Soviet Union. Many of them excel in math, physics, material sciences and medical electronics which were put to good use as close cooperation between medical research institutions and industry developed.

Israeli universities and research institutes established their own research authority whose main thrust is to assist professors in finding, applying for and administering grants and funding for their research. At present, there is no area of medicine in which devices developed in these institutions have not made significant contribution. The research authorities decided to form an alliance to pool and strengthen their technological and administrative resources.
